EMERGENCY: a show in tribute to care staff
It is with great enthusiasm that Viva Salud and the Health Coalition are organising a performance of the play URGENCE as part of a week of solidarity with carers. Riches Claires theatre in Brussels on Saturday 9 March at 7pm!
Documentary theatre on our healthcare system
Faithful to its commitments to documentary theatre over the last ten years and through a number of productions in Belgium and beyond, the Compagnie Adoc will present its show Emergency. At the heart of her work has always been the need to bring to the stage the day-to-day realities of men and women who, in their jobs and in their lives, are bearing the full brunt of the consequences of harmful European policies and increasing budgetary austerity in our public services.
Emergency looks at the state of our healthcare system and its workers who, over the last few years, have constantly mobilised and raised the alarm about their situation, the lack of resources, the lack of staff and the lack of places in hospitals... Emergency bears witness to these observations, to the suffering of nursing staff in distress, expressing their powerlessness in the face of deplorable working conditions, and all this without any consequent reaction from European governments... Emergency also shows us what it would be like to live in a world where everyone's needs are at the centre of our concerns.
World events regularly remind us how vital it is for our societies to preserve a strong public service accessible to all. A system that ensures that no-one has to choose between survival and treatment... The need to speak out is urgent.
That's what our campaign is all about Let's take care of the carers !
